Instructions

Make ahead guacamole:

Cut the avocado in half. Remove seed. Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a bowl. Using a fork smash the avocado add 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, the lime juice, and red onion. Mix well and set aside in an air tight container.

Place 6-8 slices of bacon on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until crispy. CAREFULLY remove the bacon from the oven, set aside on a paper towel for later. Save the bacon grease (YES, I said save the bacon grease)

Using a baking dish or cast iron skillet, add one layer of tortilla chips. Take 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and drizzle over the chips. Add another layer of chips, and drizzle additional 1 tablespoon of bacon grease on top. Place the chips in the oven at 400 degrees and bake for 5-10 minutes.

Remove chips from the oven. Top with salsa and then cheese. Place back into the oven, bake until cheese is melted.

After the cheese has melted top the nachos with crumbled bacon, 4 eggs sunny side up, remaining cilantro, scallions. Place guacamole on the side of the dish to gradually add in.
